Who pays the credit card debt if someone goes into the nursing home?

Toni M asked:


Who would have to pay the credit card debt? She has two cards ones in her name only and the other one i am only a authorized user on and they are both maxed out and she pays the minimum due. If she were to end up in the nursing home in a few years who would be responsible for her debt? Any advice would be helpfull thanks.

    The best thing you can do for her and you is to go see a lawyer.
    They can answers all your questions..

    I would assume it would be the primary signer when the card was issued and whoever is secondary person. But you better check out with the CC company who is responsible carefully…
